Discover the “Westport Grows… Seed Library & Exchange,” a free, organic seed collection at The Westport Library that helps gardeners of all levels borrow seeds, learn how to grow food, flowers, and herbs, and explore the benefits of saving locally adapted seed varieties. Located on the main floor near the Patron Services desk, the Seed Library offers 100% certified organic seeds that patrons can check out at no cost, with optional end-of-season seed returns encouraged for those who grow organically without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. This resource guide explains how easy it is to borrow and (optionally) return seeds, why seed saving supports sustainability and biodiversity, and how Westport’s resource guides connect you with books and local gardening information to help your garden thrive.
